the president has been clear and we support him on holding firm to the 250 tax cuts, expiration of tax cuts for people making over $250,000 a year. that would be part of a big package that has big can cuts. we've already voted for over a trillion dollars in cuts. revenue is needed and job creation is essential to reduce the deficit. we believe if you want to reduce the deficit grow the economy. it's all together. that is attested by every bipartisan task force, commission, you name it that has come together. you can't get here from here in terms of deficit reduction and fiscal soundness without having revenues be on the table. i'd like to yield to the assistant leader for his comments. >> thank you. i think that this meeting was very very fruitful. it simply remind us once again of exactly why we are here. but i don't know -- but i would add to what the leader has said the time for posturing is over which we are in the holiday season when people will love to turn to their families with some certainty and i think we ought to give them that. and it's very easy to do. the president has la
